The Burgermat Show
Last week I visited London for bizz and for some good cuisine. Was walking in Shoredich to check some galleries out who’d like to contribute to our start up Kuvva and passed by Beach London. A shop slash gallery which exhibits graphic design from upcoming talents.
My weakness lies in the fact that I love buying prints of eye candy. So, this time I already decided to leave the shop without supporting illustrators. During a chat I had with someone from Beach, a pile of Burgermats caught my eye. I recognized them from an awesome project, our partner D showed me via Prote.in last month, where the love for art and burgers became one a.k.a. lovely curated place mats! And yes, I bought them to ‘decorate’ my kitchen haha Check Beach out and I know they’d give you a smile on your face.
P.S.: If you’re an illustrator or photographer and would like to be featured on Kuvva, please contact me and we’ll check your portfolio out :)
Rapa Nui
Crime: BBQ chicken sate, salad, corona and Toblerone chocolate mousse
Scene: Rapa Nui Strandtent, Boulevard Barnaart 27, Zandvoort
Investigation: I’m not a fan of beach clubs. Love beaches, but can’t stand sand in my seat and food hahah Anyhow, Rapa Nui is the closest place I can go to by car where I can enjoy beautiful sunsets. The food is ok, the service could be tighter, the music is not really my style (if you don’t sit near the speakers you won’t hear the tunes haha), but the terrace is somehow ideal for beers and wine with the right crowd.
Place to enjoy the sun: Yes! Lovely view of the North Sea and the beach? Yes! The best food? Nah. It’s ‘aight’. Their kitchen serves typical “brown cafe food” like the Dutch version of the chicken sate with peanut sauce, steak frit, salad, freestyle pasta and the famous Dutch ‘borrel happen’. I’ll return soon to upgrade my tan if the weather lets me. Next stop: Timboektoe at Wijk aan Zee with their nice menu :)
